AZERI HOTHEADS SHELL NKR POSITIONS DURING OSCE MONITORING
October 17, 2013 - 19:15 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - "Impunity begets lawlessness" is a phrase which
best reflects current Azeri worldview. Azeri side is losing sense of
reality - mostly due to lack of international community's response
to its provocations as well as Baku's rather successful attempts to
undermine the Karabakh conflict settlement.
The monitoring of the contact line between Nagorno Karabakh and
Azerbaijani armed forces was suspended Thursday, Oct 17, due to shots
fired from the Azeri side.
The violations were registered by the monitoring group on both sides.
Personal representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, ambassador
Andrzey Kasprzyk decided to stop the monitoring over security reasons,
the NKR Foreign Ministry's press service said.
Azeri behavior here is a result of the international community's
permissiveness. For already several years Azerbaijan has been
orchestrating diversions, violating ceasefire, shelling Armenian
villages.
Over 14000 ceasefire violations by Azeri armed forces were reported
at the contact line in 2012 only. Azeri leadership never misses a
chance to express their aggressive moods, ignoring the OSCE Minsk
Group's urges to cooperate in the peaceful settlement of Karabakh
conflict on all levels - from presidents to mediators. Baku is the one
overtly purchasing and manufacturing inordinate amounts of weaponry,
in violation of all international quotas.
Though in full knowledge of the facts above, the international
community continues turning a blind eye to Azeri lawlessness, with
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs restricting themselves to statements
urging to "observe ceasefire," "develop mechanisms for promoting trust
between the conflicting parties." Also, no reaction was given to Azeri
statement suggesting Baku won't be pulling snipers from contact line
before the end of the war. Despite having their demands blatantly
ignored, international organizations don't show any concern, their
indifference further prompting Azeris to shell Karabakh positions -
this time, completely undisturbed by the OSCE mission's presence.
